Festival - 2015 Pocket Guide CHELTENHAM FESTIVAL - 2015 POCKET GUIDE - ( Welcome ( There is very much a sense of “out with the old, in with the new” surrounding this year’s Cheltenham Festival. Last year purists were purring over the possibility that the astonishing Hurricane Fly could land his third Champion Hurdle and whether a Paul Nicholls training masterclass could get Big Buck’s over the line for a fifth World Hurdle win. In the end, both horses fell on their sword as a new breed of younger charges put them in their place. Those brave defeats, combined with the retirement of the fantastic mare Quevega ─ a month after Willie Mullins’ other hurdling superstar made Festival history ─ has left the door open for a fresh wave of beasts to etch their names into the Cheltenham history books. Hurricane Fly may be back for more, and three further top-level wins since last March prove there’s life in the 11-year-old yet, but it’s stablemate Faugheen who is expected to take home the honour of the two-mile hurdling king. By around 4.15pm on Tuesday Mullins could have recorded a Grade One four-timer (and ruined us bookmakers!) if hotpots Douvan, Un De Sceaux and Annie Power also do the business. Wednesday promises an intriguing Champion Chase with the last two winners, Sire De Grugy and Sprinter Sacre, both beset by injuries in recent times, set to face the rapidly improving Nicholls duo of Dodging Bullets and Mr Mole. And on Friday, the sport’s greatest ever jockey AP McCoy will have his last rides at Cheltenham after 20 years at the top. Racing has a way of writing its own fairytales and McCoy bowing out with a third Gold Cup aboard Carlingford Lough would bring the house down. If you are visiting Cheltenham make sure you come and find us at Pitch 3 in Tattersalls and, wherever you are, enjoy the finest four days of racing in the calendar.

Although the form of his wins perhaps isn’t as strong as main market rival L’Ami Serge, it’s been the manner of his victories which has really impressed. A day full of Irish bankers can start with a bang. Nts... The Racing Post Arkle Challenge Trophy Steeple Chase Western Warhorse (light blue silks, jumping fence) causes a huge upset - Stat Attack - Winner’s Age 7, 5, 7, 7, 7, 8, 7, 6, 7, 6 Winner’s SP 7/1, 15/2, 7/2, 6/1, 8/1, 6/1, 6/1, 8/11f, 8/15f, 33/1 Fate of Favourite 7th, 7th, 2nd, 3rd, Fell, 8th, 4th, 1st, 1st, 2nd Winning Distance 1, 1 ¼, 5, 13, Shd, ¾, 2 ¾, 7, 2¼, hd Previous run 3rd, 1st, 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st (Last 10 renewals with most recent results on right and in bold) - Key Trends - 2014 winner Western Warhorse (33/1) was the first horse since 1999 to win this at odds of greater than 8/1 7 of the last 10 winners won last time out and only one winner in that time had finished worse than second on their previous start Since 2003 only one horse older than 7 has taken the prize TIME 2.05pm Tuesday DISTANCE 2m 10th March - Leading Contender - Some horses have the star quality that sends a tingle down your spine when they run and UN DE SCEAUX is undoubtedly one of them. Willie Mullins wisely sidestepped the Festival 12 months ago with his unbeaten hurdler and that decision can pay huge dividends in the Arkle. The way Un De Sceaux brushed aside Clarcam and Gilgamboa at Leopardstown was breathtaking and as long as he stays on his feet, he will surely have too much for the likes of Vibrato Valtat and Josses Hill. Nts... The Stan James Champion Hurdle Challenge Trophy Jezki (left) gets the better of fellow JP McManus hurdler My Tent Or Yours - Stat Attack - Winner’s Age 8, 8, 7, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 9, 6 Winner’s SP 7/2jf, 7/4f, 16/1, 10/1, 22/1, 9/1, 11/4f, 11/1, 13/8f, 9/1 Fate of Favourite 2nd, 1st, 1st, 6th, 14th, 3rd, 10th, 1st, 1st, 4th Winning Distance 5, nk, 1, 3, 1, nk, 3 ½, 1 ¼, 2 ¾, nk Previous run 2nd, 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st, 3rd, 1st, 2nd, 1st, 4th (Last 10 renewals with most recent results on right and in bold) - Key Trends - 25 of the last 31 winners won their prep race Ireland have won 3 of the last 4 runnings and have 4 of the top 5 in the market Hurricane Fly will bid to become the first horse to regain the Champion Hurdle twice and only the third 11-year-old in history to win it TIME 3.20pm Tuesday DISTANCE 2m ½f 10th March - Leading Contender - The ammunition Willie Mullins has at his disposal is absolutely frightening and without wanting to come across as boring, it is very difficult to see past FAUGHEEN in the Champion Hurdle. The New One and Jezki are both respected, but last year’s Neptune winner is eight from eight under rules and there is no telling how good he might be. Dual winner Hurricane Fly is a wonderful racehorse, but only two 11-year-olds have been successful in 84 runnings. Nts... PiCK ME! PiCK ME!

  • Bulletin Book Extracts
    Bulletin Book Extracts Continuity with the Dark Horses Annual … In my Dark Horses Guide I made out a case for Nichols Canyon, now the winner of seven of his 10 starts over hurdles. A genuine and classy performer for John Gosden on the Flat, with two Listed victories and a Group 3 placing to his name, he landed four Grade 1 races as a novice last season without getting the credit he deserved. This season he became the first horse to beat Faugheen, where the close proximity of Wicklow Brave in third suggests the favourite underperformed, before winning his sixth Grade 1 race when beating Identity Thief in the Ryanair Hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas. Nichols Canyon ran the worst race of his career just under a month later when he trailed home 28 lengths third to Faugheen and Arctic Fire in the Irish Champion Hurdle, possibly feeling the effects of his tussle with Identity Thief in the heavy ground. Nichols Canyon’s greatest asset is his tenacity. He is not the sort of horse ever to win on the bridle, but he handles any ground and has strong winning form over two and a half miles – always an asset in the Champion Hurdle. Willie Mullins says the horse reminds him of Hurricane Fly – a great compliment - and there is a case for saying he has the best overall form in the race, even though the ratings suggest otherwise. Strong Opinions … I have no doubt that My Tent Or Yours is one of the most talented horses Nicky Henderson has ever trained.

  • Welcome to the April 2015 Edition of the Donn Mcclean Racing Newsletter
    Welcome to the April 2015 edition of the Donn McClean Racing newsletter. Looking ahead It’s all about the Aintree Grand National now. Final declarations were made this morning, and all 40 runners stood their ground. We're all set. There is usually a story behind every Grand National winner, behind every Grand National contender, but there could be no better story this year than the one that victory for Shutthefrontdoor and AP McCoy would tell. The champ, riding in his last Grand National, in what would be his last race if he happened to win it. That would be the story of stories. Of course, there are other stories lurking. Like the Pineau De Re story, bidding to become the first back-to-back winner since Red Rum. Or the Lord Windermere or Spring Heeled story, both trying to win for Jim Culloty the trainer, 13 years after Bindaree won for Jim Culloty the rider. Or the First Lieutenant story, Mouse Morris' horse set to be ridden by Nina Carberry. Never before has a female rider won the Grand National. Well, Katie Walsh won the Irish National on Monday, so why not? Here are five things that you might keep in mind as you are searching for the Grand National winner: No seven-year-old has won the National since Bogskar in 1940, and none has finished placed in the race since 1971. That makes it difficult for Cause Of Causes and Unioniste. Bindaree in 2002 is the last eight-year-old to win it, and he was only the third eight-year-old since Red Rum won his first in 1973.

  • Cheltenham Festival Issue 7
    Gold Cup Preview GOLD CUP PREVIEW Plenty of comparisons have already been made between Arkle and Best Mate, and they’re bound to become even more popular should the best staying chaser of the present day complete a hat-trick of Cheltenham Gold Cup victories in mid-March. Just for the record, the following paragraph from Chasers & Hurdlers 2002/3 may help to put into perspective just how good Arkle really was:- ‘In the 1965/6 season, Arkle ran four times before his third Cheltenham Gold Cup victory, starting off with a twenty-length win under 12-7 in the Gallaher Gold Cup at Sandown in November, setting a time record which still stands for the course and distance. Later that month, Arkle took his second successive Hennessy under 12-7, winning by fifteen lengths from Freddie who received 32 lb. Arkle made it three wins from three starts with victory by a distance in the King George VI Chase before again winning the Leopardstown Chase on his way to Cheltenham. Arkle conceded 42 lb to the second and third at Leopardstown; runner-up Height o’ Fashion, who went down by a neck, did most of her racing in Ireland but was worth a Timeform rating of 168+ whilst third-placed Splash, beaten a further fifteen lengths, had won the previous year’s Irish Grand National and earnt a Timeform rating of 157. Arkle gave them a 43 lb and 55 lb beating respectively and was 10/1-on when making it five out of five for the season when taking Best Mate jumps the second last in splendid isolation twelve month ago 1 Cheltenham Festival Issue the Gold Cup in a canter.
